tOffical all things Sterling thread

Sorry, meant punish in general. He does have permission to suspend under 35A, but the fine amount is capped at $1 million.

If the arbitration is rigged, that is legal cause for the arbitration to be voided and for the case to go to actual court. In actual court, he will wipe the floor with the NBA. He did not come close to meeting any of the conditions they have listed for a team to be terminated.


But it probably won't come to that. The owners won't give silver the vote he wants. The reason he came out and said anything now is for the playoffs. He doesn't want to lose the viewership for the playoffs. When that is over, that is when this battle will actually start. Silver won't win. There is no case for the owners to contractually be allowed to vote on this.

Nope. That's the REASON this is set up this way......so IF they needed to remove someone, they could.

Sterling is done. He has NO legal recourse that will end in his favor here. He has to prove they are wrong in their INTERPRETATION of the rules.

Like I said.......good luck with that. He has already consented to the arbitration......he's bound by that. There will be no court case.

Arbitration can and does get thrown out when the court determines that the arbitration was not done correctly.


If he loses arbitration, he will successfully get it in front of a court, and he will tear the NBA a new asshole.

He was fined 2.5 million today - just sayin

If you have anything negative to say about black people, homosexuals, Jews or terrorists, you will be dealt with swiftly and mercilessly. This is 2014 America, people.

Speaking of fake outrage.

And that will be thrown out too. The clause he is trying to fine him that under does not apply. Rules violations by owners already do have a punishment in place, and as such a rule applying when no punishment is in place DO NOT APPLY.

She didn't have the right to do that! Stop pretending like she did. The private conversation was none of our damned business and you know it. It doesn't matter who we're talking about, that's the right we enjoy as citizens here!!! You're pretending like she did something admirable and courageous.

I hope Sterling sues the shit out of her and TMZ and wins.

Who gives a shit hammer? Why are you so stuck on how it got out? Who cares if it wasn't anybody's business, it went public. It wasn't my ex girlfriend mom's business that I was calling her daughter all type of names, but when my ex showed her the text messages, she didn't want me in her house or around her daughter anymore.

If she did anything illegal, then Sterling should sue, but the point is, it was made public.

So you think that you know more than Silver, the commissioner of the NBA and a skilled lawyer?

Silver knows it too.


He is just salvaging the playoffs. He knows damn well nothing is going to stick.

I've come to the conclusion you're a troll that is just putting bullshit up for personal pleasure

Have a good day troll

For those of you that think the players only wanted his money and didn't really care, THIS is for you:

Warriors Had the Blueprint For a Dramatic Boycott Ready to Go ? Marcus Thompson II

Just for those of you that don't think the players really are pissed:

That's just proving the point that the punishment is about appeasement until the playoffs are over.



Silver knows damn well it won't stick.

 

[gooooooogators]

The NBA is a joke. They are railroading Sterling like the media did with Paula Dean. It was a private conversation and he should be able to say whatever he wants. The gold digger should be in jail for essentially ruining this old ass man's last days.

Such a damn joke.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I actually think the guy is probably a piece of shit.....and I don't know that based on anything other than listening to that audio of him telling his black/Mexican girlfriend that he doesn't like blacks or Mexicans.

But, with that said, the NBA was just trying to save face. I think it's some pretty dumb shit. He is an old delusional man who said some shit off the record that nobody probably should have ever heard.

If every person in this world had a recorder around them at all times, everyone would be in major trouble for some thing or another.

Keep believing that. I have yet to see any sports commish get overruled on any violation; it's pretty much standard that he has the full support of the owners.

Enjoy waiting for all this to be overturned, I for one am pretty done with it and Sterling.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I mean, to be honest, I actually dislike that dumb bitch more than I dislike this guy for what he said.

And I don't like racists......but I really don't like dumb bitches.

Get it through your head, nobody cares if it was private. The NBA is a business, not a court system.
